Back in 1993, Americans began to “super-size” their meals at McDonald’s, increasing the size of their soft drinks to a whopping 42 ounces (1.19 liters) and pumping up the portions of their French fries. The practice began with the chain’s tie-in marketing for the first Jurassic Park film, but back then, folks were urged to order a “Dino-size.” McDonald’s began to phase out super-sizing in 2004, but other fast-food outlets have persisted, despite complaints that people are intaking way too many calories and fat.
Before there was super-sizing, there was Dino-sizing:

McD should have made the Dino size a veggie burger

A good question to go along with the original would be, "When did people lose the ability to stop eating of their own volition?" No one has the ability to make you eat too much, and if you do, it's on yourself. |
